Has anyone here had success with USB fingerprint scanners? I also found this Microsoft keyboard with fingerprint reader but I don’t know if it works with linux.

I recently got a Dell Latitude 14 2-in-1 with the AMD 8840U, Put on the latest Fedora Kinoite and the fingerprint reader works FYI.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
